Rachel's Wool Bam Boo Dragon Skin WrapBack to Project Search

Description

Dragon Skin Wrap pattern originally featured in the Holiday 2007 edition of Interweave knits that is now sold out. The pattern is available for download on the Interweave website $4.50. The original pattern calls for a yarn that is a merino wool/bamboo mix, and the CEY Wool Bam Boo was the perfect substitute. I was able to match exact gauge with the needles called for in the pattern, and it turned out wonderfully soft, with a nice drape, and a subtle sheen. I can't wait to wrap my niece up in this little sweater. I think the pattern would work just as well with the Cotton Bam Boo, although that's not the one I used. The yarn was a dream to work with, and gives great stitch definition to the dragon skin pattern. I made the 18-24 month size 24 inches, and it 5 balls only a tiny bit of the 5th was needed. With the yarn left over a matching hat could be kind of fun.
